Vipt Piedirosso DOC Vesuvio, Cantine l'Olivella

A fantastic example of a volcanic wine, a red wine with great structure and complexity, elegance, a delicate nose with notes of violets, fruit, spices, and plenty of minerality for this red wine made with Piedirosso, that translate as red feet in english, grape from vineyards located in the Vesuvius national park with their roots deep in minerally rich volcanic lava.

Until recently only used in blend, the Lacryma Christi is possibly the most famous, this native Campania grape is cultivated in the whole region but producing the best results in the Naples area especially around the Vesuvio. This is a very versatile red wine that pairs perfectly tomato based dishes but also more complex dishes such as beef stew, visit our authentic Italian recipes section for more ideas.
